JAB FEST

Body of Texas deputy found in Lake Austin AUSTIN (AP) — Divers found the body of a missing Central Texas sheriff’s deputy Friday, a day after her patrol car was found swamped by floodwaters minutes after she radioed for help while checking flooded low-water crossings.

Senior Deputy Jessica Hollis was found dead Friday afternoon in Lake Austin, an emotional Travis County Sheriff Greg Hamilton announced Friday afternoon. Hamilton said he had been determined to “bring her home.”

Efforts to locate the deputy had been suspended before nightfall Thursday because of the storms, which were remnants of Hurricane Odile.

The National Weather Service forecasts more heavy rain through Saturday over much of West Texas, with flash flood watches issued through Friday night.

Rain fell Friday in Southeast Texas and elsewhere in the state, with high waters clogging roadways and impeding traffic in metro areas such as Austin and Houston.

Hollis, 35, a seven-year veteran of the department, was checking low-water crossings during storms. She radioed shortly before 2 a.m. CDT Thursday to say her patrol car was being washed away in an Austin-area subdivision, Travis County sheriff’s spokesman Roger Wade said.

Accused White House intruder identified WASHINGTON (AP) — The man accused of getting inside the White House after scaling a fence is a veteran who was awarded a medal for his service in Iraq and retired due to disability, the Army said Sunday.

Authorities have identified the intruder from Friday night’s shocking incident as Omar J. Gonzalez, 42, of Copperas Cove, Texas, and the Army said he had served from 1997 to 2003, when he was discharged, and then again from 2005 to December 2012, when he retired.

The military does not provide details about a soldier’s disability due to privacy considerations.

Gonzalez was expected to appear in federal court Monday to face charges of unlawfully entering a restricted building or grounds while carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon — a knife, in this case.

The Secret Service tightened security outside the White House after the embarrassing breach in which the intruder carrying a knife climbed the fence, ran across the lawn and entered the building before agents stopped him.

The first family was away from the White House at the time.

Serving the Texas Tech University community since 1925

Thousands of country music fans filled the Lone Star Amphitheater on Saturday evening to watch this year’s lineup for JAB Fest Skyla Thompson, a sophomore pre-nursing major from Lometa, said this was the first year she attended JAB Fest.

“I just really like Texas country,” she said. “I’m most excited to see Josh Abbott out of all the bands.”

The gates opened at 4 p.m., but the actual music did not start until Sam Riggs played at 5 p.m.

Nicole Fajardo, a sophomore at West Texas A&M University, traveled to Lubbock for the concert with her friends.

Smith takes over for DC Matt Wallerstedt Former assistant defensive coordinator and linebacker coach Mike Smith has taken over the head defensive coordinator position, according to a news release from Texas Tech Athletics, SMITH after Matt Wallerstedt resigned Thursday due to personal reasons.

Matt Brock has moved from his role as defensive quality control to take over as the inside linebackers coach.

Smith, in his second season of coaching with the Red Raiders, will still coach the outside linebackers as well as the defense as a whole.

Smith is a 2004 graduate and former linebacker from Tech, according to the Tech Athletics website. He recorded 320 tackles over four years in his days of playing as a Red Raider.

Smith was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens and played two NFL seasons before his career was ended by injuries, according to the Tech Athletics website.

After his playing career was over, Smith was the linebackers coach at the University of Hawaii and for the New York Jets, each for one season, according to the website.

Matt Brock is also in his second season of coaching at Tech.

Brock, a 2011 graduate of Baker University, recorded 277 career tackles and seven interceptions throughout his career. He was a 2009 and 2010 all-conference player and two-time Academic All-American, according to the athletics website.

Smith and Brock will try to improve the Red Raider defense, which has given up an average of 432.7 yards per game this season, before Tech takes on Oklahoma State at 6:30 pm on Thursday in Stillwater, Oklahoma. ➤➤jkrakosky@dailytoreador.com

“We didn’t get here until close to 6 p.m., so we missed Sam Riggs,” she said. “I’ve never seen him, but I know some of my friends really like him.”

Dalton Domino performed next and was followed by William Clark Green at 6:30 p.m.

Matthew Hamilton, a senior at Stephen F. Austin State University, said he flew in to see the concert with his sister who studies at Texas Tech.

“William Clark Green was fun to listen to,” he said. “I started dancing more once he started to play.”

Green played his hit songs such as “She Likes the Beatles,” as well as songs from other artists like The Rolling Stones.

Kyle Park took the stage at 7:30 p.m. and opened with his song “Don’t Look.”

“My favorite band from the lineup was Kyle Park,” Thompson said. “I really like his song ‘Somebody’s Trying to Steal My Heart.’”

When Park played “Somebody’s Trying to Steal My Heart,” the majority of the audience responded well to it and sang along with him.

The Casey Donahew Band followed Park at 8:30 p.m., and they opened with their new song “My Life’s Like a Country Song.”

“I love Casey Donahew,” Fajardo said. “My favorite song of his is ‘Whiskey Baby’ because it’s one of his more memorable songs and is easy to sing along to.”

Walk raises awareness for disease

By BREANA COONEY staff writer

The Lubbock Heart Walk took place 9 a.m. Saturday at Texas Tech’s Frazier Alumni Pavilion. The threemile and one-mile courses were set up around the Tech campus. Registration lasted an hour, beginning at 8 a.m. The event was free to participants.

Vanessa Fuentes, senior director of Grassroots Advocacy for the American Heart Association, said the advocacy network with the AHA is composed of different volunteer groups.

“You’re the Cure” is an advocacy network that works with the American Heart Association to bring awareness to heart healthy policies, she said.

Professor, department introduce sibling study

By DANI COPELAND staff writer

The Department of Human Development and Family Studies is conducting research with pregnant mothers and their preschoolaged children.

Sybil Hart, professor of human development and family studies, is in charge of the research study and working with mothers and children, according to TechAnnounce.

Hart’s research project is about “Becoming a Big Sib,” which focuses on children under the age of four adjusting to the idea of having a younger sibling in their life, ac-

cording to TechAnnounce.

Victoria McGee, a sophomore animal science major from McAllen, said the study seemed interesting to learn about how different individuals adjusted to having siblings in their lives.

“Not everyone adjusts the same way,” she said. “Some are good and some are not so good.”

McGee said she was two years old when her younger brother was born.

She does not remember how she reacted to having a younger sibling at first, she said, but she loves having a brother.

“My brother and I are extremely close,”

she said. “I prefer having a brother because there’s always someone to look out for me even though he’s younger than me. He’s very protective of me.”

McGee said her favorite memory of her brother is the day she moved to come to Tech.

“The morning I packed up my car and was about to leave home with my mom, he turned to me and said that he already missed me and he can’t imagine going to school in the morning without me anymore,” she said. “He gave me the biggest hug and made me cry.”

Chemistry 1307 students were given an exam 50 minutes late 7 p.m. Wednesday when the testing location was changed from the Human Sciences building to the Biology building and then to the Chemistry building.

The original room in the Human Sciences building that was scheduled as the testing location had a maximum capacity of 200 students, while about 300 students were supposed to take the exam.

The size of the rooms was an issue not all instructors were made aware of prior to the exam, Joachim Weber, associate professor and interim chair of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, said.

“The instructors were informed of the primary examination room assignment for their section, but they were not made aware that some of these rooms were smaller than the actual class size and that additional

rooms had been assigned for students in the section,” he said.

While most of the sections were able to WEBER resolve the matter quickly, he said one section was moved to two other locations before the test was administered because of missing key cards for the original extra rooms.

“This inconveniences me,” Nick Schlachter, a sophomore wildlife biology major from Dallas, said. “I’m trying to get out of here by eight because it’s Wednesday and now they’re holding me back.”

Students walked from building to building in the rain and through puddles. Many students did not have adequate rainwear.

Ethan Baker, a sophomore mechanical engineering major from Austin, said he did not know why a situation like this would happen on campus.

“We have plenty of rooms on campus that are big enough,” he said. “I took this class last year and we always had seats left over, but now we’re here and we’ve got a bunch of kids standing up and we’re all delayed for however long it takes for them to find a room.”

Not all students were bothered by the change, however.

“I don’t mind waiting. It’s not like I’m doing anything else tonight except taking this test,” Kiran Khan, an undeclared sophomore from Arlington, said.

Texas Tech has a strategic plan when it comes to academic testing services, according to the Academic Testing Strategic Plan for 2010 through 2015 on the Tech testing services website.

Providing a quiet, optimal testing environment for students is a part of the protocol, according to the website.

The goal is to provide a test environment and location that is consistent with academic test integrity protocols and conducive to the success of students,

according to the website.

As students were required to walk in the rain from one building to another, some became visibly and verbally frustrated.

“This is really annoying. Of all the tests I’ve ever had to take, I’ve never had this happen. If a lot of people fail this test, we better get a curve for what they did,” Christina Solitra, a junior clinical studies major, said.

The test was finally proctored at around 7:50 p.m. in the Chemistry building in two different rooms. Students were given until 9:15 p.m. to complete the test.

Weber said the Chemistry department is working to help those who felt their performance was negatively affected as a result of the movement.

“We apologize for the inconvenience that this might have caused,” he said. “We are working with the dean’s and provost’s offices on a plan to accommodate students who feel that the delay might have impacted their performance.” ➤➤anelson@dailytoreador.com

Biannual blood drive begins

By JUSTIN GONZALES Staff Writer

University Student Housing is hosting its third biannual Battle of the Halls University Blood Drive this week at the Student Union building.

In collaboration with United Blood Services of Lubbock, University Student Housing started the Battle of the Halls as a competition between residence halls to create student involvement that directly benefits the Lubbock community.

Craig Kuehnert, Assistant Director of Student Leadership Development at Texas Tech University, said students who donate are able to make a large impact on local hospitals and build up the campus community.

“It is an opportunity for the campus community to save lives through blood donation,” he said. “All of the blood that is donated at our drive is kept here locally in West Texas, and all of the blood donated saves the lives of those that are in need for various reasons here in Lubbock and our surrounding communities.”

Tech students donate at least 350 units of blood throughout the course of the week and those donations are given to local hospitals, Kuehnert said.

Every semester since April 2012, United Blood Services has visited various resident halls and complexes throughout the competition week, but this fall semester will be different,

he said.

Jennifer Seals, senior donor recruitment representative for United Blood Services in Lubbock, said KUEHNERT the Battle of the Halls has grown over the past three years and the location has since then been centralized in order to promote the event to a larger body of students.

“We used to go to different halls and complexes, but we’ve outgrown that so we’re in the SUB every day,” Seals said.

“Every donor will get a Tech T-shirt and we will even have pizza there.”

The residence hall with the highest percentage of students to register and donate blood will receive a free pizza party, and the winning complex will receive the Battle of the Halls plaque to hang in the complex lobby, Kuehnert said.

Christina Paraliticci, a senior construction engineering major from Flower Mound, said she believes donating blood is a cause that everyone can support. Even though she has been unable to donate in the past due to low iron levels, Paraliticci said she still has the desire to donate blood.

“My experience with giving blood is that they take a lot of time and care to make sure the blood they receive is healthy and clean,” she said, “and

• Donors can donate between 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday through Friday • Donors will receive a T-shirt, points for free prizes and free food • Prospective volunteers must email RHA to register • Volunteer shifts last two hours each • Volunteers will receive a free T-shirt and food that the donor is also healthy enough to give.”

Students who register with United Blood Services can earn points that lead to prizes, Kuehnert said.

According to the United Blood Services website, the Donor Hero Rewards Program offers points to members with every blood donation. Members can earn points toward T-shirts, gift cards, movie tickets and more.

Any Tech faculty, staff or student may donate, Seals said, and donations will be collected every day 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Thursday. ➤➤jgonzales@dailytoreador.com

The event’s fundraising goal was to raise $100,000 and by Saturday morning, prior to the walk, more than $84,000 had been raised, according to the website.

There were ten prize levels dependent upon the amount of money a team raised during the event, according to the website. The first level ranged from $100 to $249.99, with a free T-shirt as the reward. The highest level ended at one million dollars, according to the website.

Nicole Miller, a junior art history major from Keller, said participating in the event has been a rewarding experience.

The participants in the study remain confidential. Mothers who participate with their children receive ninety dollars for the three different visits, according to TechAnnounce.

Visits can be scheduled for any time that works best for the participants.

“I think my sister and I have such a strong bond because we have such a large age difference,” she said. “It makes it easier for us to connect.

Rec Center hosts annual obstacle course

By ABIGAIL HERNANDEZ Staff Writer

Inspired by Spartan races, the recreational sports management put together the second Matador Madness obstacle course challenge at 5 p.m. Sunday across Urbanovsky Park. Nearly 200 students signed up in advance and participated in the event.

Students were paired off and each team started the obstacle course individually with about fifteen to twenty seconds in between each group’s start to reduce congestion at each obstacle.

“I wish there was a way for all teams to start at the same time,” Victoria Banuelas, a senior exercise and sport sciences major from El Paso, said.

She and her partner Raphael Akinsipe, a senior petroleum engineer major from Houston, said if teams had more than two players it would add a new element to the challenge.

The obstacle course was designed to physically and mentally test limits but would still allow for all students to participate if they wanted to, Scott Layher, assistant director of marketing for recreational sports, said.

They could even alter any obstacles for someone who needed it, he said. Any student could participate, athletic or not.

“This is an event students have asked for, for a long time,” said Layher. “We want students to come out and just have fun.”

Last May was the first time the Matador Madness challenge was hosted, he said, and he thought it was successful because people really liked it.

The obstacle course consisted of burpees, bag carries and water bucket carries, wall climbing, and a tire flip.

Last year, the obstacle course contained a mud pit, which Layher said was not as fun as they hoped and not worth all the preparation it took, so they removed it from this year’s course. During planning, the weather was not something they worried about. “ We w e r e g o i n g t o d o i t come rain or shine,” Layher said. “Imagine doing burpees in the mud.”

Some students, like Akinsipe, said they would not have participated in the challenge if it had rained that day.

Many students said the course was more intense and challenging than they anticipated.

“We had students last year come up and say ‘You know I didn’t think I could do that, but I pushed myself and I did it’,” Layher said.

The first Matador Madness

challenge was all about strength and endurance, he said, but this year they decided to add more fun things such as a corn hole toss. However, not all students were pleased with the new addition, hoping for more physically demanding obstacles next time to test their athleticism.

“I wish they were more athletic-based as opposed to just how long you can you keep doing the same thing over and over,” Akinsipe said.

Some suggestions included acrobatics, more challenging wall climbing and team-based obstacles. Josh Hartung, a sophomore agribusiness major from San Antonio, said he liked the tire flip because it required teamwork.

He said he did not think that a more physical challenge would deter students from wanting to participate.

Banuelas and Akinsipe said they would probably train in preparation for the challenge next time. They also said they would definitely do it again and invite their friends to participate as well.

“This is one of the first school-wide events we’ve been to,” Banuelas said, “and I think it’s a cool way to interact with other students.”

Suicide prevention walk continues

PHOTO BY LIANA SOLIS/The Daily Toreador

DESPITE THE RAIN, residents of Lubbock participate in the Out of the Darkness Suicide Prevention Walk on Sunday at Mackenzie Park. The walk was hosted to raise awareness of suicide and suicide prevention in the local community. This is the fourth year the walk has been hosted, and more than 300 people participated this year.

By LIANA SOLIS Staff Writer

Every 13.3 seconds, someone in the United States committed suicide in 2011.

The Out of the Darkness Suicide Prevention Walk was hosted 2 p.m. Sunday at Mackenzie Park for the Texas Tech and Lubbock community despite the rainy weather.

Mariah Williams, a senior public relations major from Forth Worth, has been the chairperson for the walk for the past three years.

“The main purpose of the walk is to raise awareness of suicide and suicide prevention in our community,” Williams said.

“We want to remove that stigma that comes with the thought of counseling and disorders and self-harm.”

This is the fourth year the walk has occurred, she said, and it has grown in size over the past few years.

More than 300 people participated in the walk this year, Williams said, compared to last year, which had about 120 people.

“This walk is very important to people in the community, which is why we were going to walk, rain or shine,” she said.

“This walk literally means the world to some people.”

The walk was started four years ago by Kelly Fortney, a community member and Tech mother who lost her son to suicide, Williams said.

One of the main reasons the walk has continued over the years is for those community members who want to honor their loved ones they lost to

suicide, she said.

“Everyone knows someone, whether they were close to them or not, who has died because of suicide,” Williams said. “The walk helps people to carry those loved ones’ name on their shirts with pride and helps them with the healing process.”

The ceremony began with several guest speakers, including the master of ceremonies and a Lubbock community member.

Tye King, the master of ceremonies and Lubbock community member, said he himself suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts for more than 10 years.

“All those loved ones that were lost would be proud to know that we are doing this walk, even through the rain,” King said. “I bet they are crying tears of joy in heaven right now and that’s why the weather has been like this.”

Walkers joined teams and raised money together to donate to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, she said.

The goal was to raise $8,000 this year, Williams said, and collectively they raised more than $11,000.

“We had organizations in Greek life, churches, schools and from all over the community really,” she said. “There are some people who have always been involved with advocating suicide prevention, but we walk to get more people talking about it and aware that it exists.”

According to a flier from the Tech Student Counseling Center, suicide is the third main cause of deaths for all college-

aged students.

Amanda Wheeler, an onstaff psychologist at the counseling center, said this is the first year the center has been part of the walk.

“We want students and the community to know it’s OK to talk about problems they’re going through,” Wheeler said.

“That’s why we have the walk-in clinic at Tech, so students who are struggling can get the help they need.”

Suicide is a common problem in today’s society, ranging from having random thoughts of depression to actually committing suicide, Wheeler said.

The organizers of the walk want people to know it will start a conversation about suicide, she said, and that suicide is a topic that needs to be talked about more often than after it has already happened.

“Suicide affects a lot of people, even though we may not think it affects very many,” Wheeler said. “This is something everyone will have to deal with at some point in their lives.” ➤➤lsolis@dailytoreador.com

Corporal punishment inhumane, has no place in society Corporal punishment beneficial, should be parents’ choice

“

other tactics that can be utilized in the teachings of discipline.

A person’s upbringing is not an excuse for lack of judgment and acts of cruelty.

I myself am not a parent, but I can familiarize with the challenges parents are confronted with by serving as a testament to the hard work and strenuous task of maintaining and guiding a household of eight. My parents were not perfect, but were able to instill the morals I value and practice today in the hopes to be the best that I can be, both in a humanly and academic prospect.

Many misguided adults interpret corporal punishment purely as an attempt to teach a young child a moral lesson, all pain inflicted by the power of tough love.

I am appalled by the ignorant ideals that guide those who believe corporal punishment is of the norm.

According to a recent Huffington Post article, “Instead of yelling that it’s OK to get hit with a belt because you’re living proof that you were beaten and you are now thriving, why not shout from your microphone that no child should be beaten and that any form of child abuse is unacceptable. What if you mentioned that perhaps we should all start showing kindness and empathy which can help with parenting?”

Unfortunately, kindness and empathy are forgotten principles buried in the depths of the current mindsets of those who are in support of beating a child. Love and patience are two contradicting standards that many believe will lead their child to ruin if resorted to when disciplining them.

Moral judgment is not, in any means, easy to teach a young, living creation that is new to life’s hardships and developing under the influence of his or her parental authorities. I can sympathize with that prospect.

What I cannot tolerate is the aftermath of improper parental guidance. The psychological damage that is done to a person who has experienced physical abuse is not fixable. Experiencing pain inflicted by someone you love is haunting and will forevermore live with you for the rest of your life.

According to a recent New York Times article, “no humor can mask the suffering that

The psychological damage that is done to a person who has experienced physical abuse is not fixable.

studies say our children endure when they are beaten: feelings of sadness and worthlessness, difficulties sleeping, suicidal thoughts, bouts of anxiety, outbursts of aggression, diminished concentration, intense dislike of authority, frayed relations with peers, and negative high-risk behavior.”

No one deserves anyone’s monstrous hands on them. No action deserves the verdict that parents place on their children when inflicting on them horrendous acts of ignorance and insensitivity. These haunting ideals are what drove Peterson, a man reputable for his speed and power, to lay his hands on his four-year-old son.

It is with urgency that I plead for an end to all of the atrocity driving those today who utilize inhumane and bleak reasoning for the continuation of the practice in younger generations.

In memory of the young and innocent who have been refused the opportunity to see the beauty of the world today due to cruel and irrational punishment, stop the use of physical discipline.

The book that made me fall in love with fiction was S.E. Hinton’s “The Outsiders.” Hinton made the characters so real that I felt connected to them, even though I have never been exposed to any of the conflicts they went through.

methods of disciplining besides beating or spanking a child.

What are alternatives to physically punishing your child?

When dealing with children, physical punishment is sometimes necessary to teach right from wrong. Probably like most of us, I was spanked as a child and quickly corrected my actions. Simply being admonished not to do something, I probably did it anyway. Scolding is an ineffective way to discipline your children, even more so in a society where we want it and we want it now.

W h i l e there are alternatives to physically hitting a child, punishment is impending and there is no guarantee that alternatives to physical punishment do not have long lasting behavioral effects as well.

For example, taking something away from a child could cause them to feel neglected and depressed, possibly resulting in patterns such as violence later in life as well.

Certainly, spanking a child every day or for every action should be considered abusive, but ultimately disciplinary methods should be left to the parents.

Additionally, a prolonged punishment may provoke prolonged discipline, while spanking will immediately impact the next time a child might misbehave.

Learning from painful experiences is a function of aging.

Through our childhood years we acquire bumps and bruises teaching us cautionary behaviors. For example, immediate pain from touching a hot pan teaches us a lesson that lasts a lifetime. Getting our fingers caught in the window teaches us to take caution in the future.

Similarly, physical pain by our

“

parents effectively prevents us from misbehaving again.

According to a recent study conducted by psychologist Elizabeth Gershoff, “The single desirable association was between corporal punishment and immediate compliance on the part of the child.”

Time is of the essence and most of us will not have time to argue with our children. Putting a child in timeout will give them time to think about their actions, but physical rationale will provide slightly more incentive for the child to think and prevent the misbehavior in the future.

Unfortunately, there will never be enough time.

Though alternatives to physically disciplining the youth may be effective, almost all will require more time than corporal punishment. Arguably, any form of punishment has potential to negatively impact a child in the future.

The key ingredient to any punishment is an abundance of love to the child. If a child is constantly being spanked in an abusive environment, that child will probably result to violence due to the nature of the punisher. A child will not take away violent and depressive behaviors from a loving parent who disciplines their child by spanking.

Inside a household filled with love, corporal punishment provides an immediate and effective disciplinary method for children without promoting violence to the child. The current system in place allowing parents to discipline their children using corporal punishment should remain the same.

Certainly, spanking a child every day or for every action should be considered abusive, but ultimately disciplinary methods should be left to the parents.

A

fter being indicted for negligent injury of a child, Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has sparked a debate for the 21st century: Is corporal punishment still acceptable in today’s society?

Reporting a study on corporal punishment, Murray Straus, professor of sociology at University of New Hampshire, said, “About 94 percent of parents of children ages three to four in the United States report having spanked their children the previous year.”

Excessive damage and injury to a child surely merits child abuse, but what defines excessive? Where is the line drawn? Most of us have probably been spanked by our parents, so should this be illegal? How do we define excessive abuse?

Largely opposing corporal punishment is the idea that it is cruel and inhumane. Specifically, the opposition feels that physically hitting a child sends the message that violence is an appropriate response when someone misbehaves. Also, the opposition argues there are other

“

A

ttempting to change and transform a cultural mindset re garding parental discipline is a Herculean effort. Disregard to this issue has allowed this accepted norm to reach a new heart rending milestone in the history of teaching our children what is right or wrong.

Our negligence to the methods utilized when disciplining a child is reason for incidents such as Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, a 2012 NFL MVP award recipient, facing charges for utilizing a switch to inflict bruises and wounds o n h i s f o u ryear-old son.

It troubles my heart that this matter is even debatable by those who want to take an opposition to the awareness and scrutiny that Peterson has received by media and the justice system. Under no circumstance is it OK to use physical abuse to teach your child values.

In the light of all the criticism Peterson has received, I am taking on the role of advocacy and of awareness for what is acceptable when disciplining our children. A slim, leafless tree branch is not a tool, rather, it is a weapon of choice to make the parenting role easier by avoiding the effort, time and patience that is necessitated when raising a child.

A common argument made by those who utilize pain and terror when disciplining their children is that their actions are justifiable by their own upbringing. It is disbelieving that old parenting tactics are influencing the ways 21st century parents are guiding their children today.

I would hope that as a society notable for all of the scientific and technological breakthroughs, we would have also learned to progress mentally and allow our ideals to be modernized for the sole purpose of advancement.

According to a recent WFMY News article, “Peterson has acknowledged injuring his son but said that it was not his intent, and said he has sought counseling from a psychologist on other ways to discipline children. The running back’s upbringing could be a factor in Peterson’s favor in court.”

It is tormenting that after the deed, even Peterson agrees with me too. There are indeed

world because they are not “real.”

But fiction books are real to readers.

A really good book has the ability to create a world readers can visit once, twice or as often as they want.

Nonfiction books can interest readers if they are passionate about the subject; fiction books can interest a myriad of different readers. I’ve picked up countless fiction novels while browsing bookstores and have bought them because the characters’ world seemed like one I wanted to reside in for awhile.

“The implication, it seems, is that we gain knowledge from a certain kind of text and not from another,” Author Diana Senechal wrote for joannejacobs.com. “This is not so; there is much to be learned from literature, and much in nonfiction that raises questions and draws our attention to mysteries and ambiguities.”

Nonfiction is less preferable to fantasy novels for many readers because the stories in nonfiction are true, or at least they are supposed to be; some nonfiction books have fiction mixed into them under the pretense that they are “creative nonfiction.” True nonfiction books have no ability to be altered; they do not help a mind work creatively because it is already understood what is going to happen in the novel because it has already happened.

People who prefer nonfiction are ultimately diminishing their ability

to grow as a person because they aren’t feeding their brain stories where they have to guess what a character will do or say. Fiction may not be true, but it broadens horizons.

“The psychologists Mar and Keith Oatley tested the idea that entering fiction’s simulated social worlds enhances our ability to connect with actual human beings,” Jonathan Gottschall, a professor of English at Washington and Jefferson College, said in an article for the Boston Globe. “They found that heavy fiction readers outperformed heavy nonfiction readers on tests of empathy, even after they controlled for the possibility that people who already had high empathy might naturally gravitate to fiction. As Oatley puts it, fiction serves the function of ‘making the world a better place by improving interpersonal understanding.’”

The Oatleys’ discoveries have been backed up by other scientists as well, reconfirming the fact that fiction helps make our world a better place. If our society read more fiction novels, we would be more welcoming to diversity.

The beauty behind fiction and fantasy books comes from the multitude of characters, all from different facets of the world. These characters go through situations that may be hard for us to understand because we’ve never experienced them, but

after reading about them we have the capacity to understand why they were in those situations and why they handled them the way they did. There is a reason for the many different subgenres of fiction; it’s because authors want to expose their readers to a world they never would have known upon opening the book.

Rivka Galchen said in the New York Time’s Sunday Book review titled, “What’s Behind the Notion That Nonfiction is More Relevant Than Fiction?,” that “because we are less sure what fiction is ‘saying,’ we are less preemptively defended against it or biased in its favor. We are inclined to let it past our fortifications. It’s merely a court jester, there to amuse us. We let in the brazen liar, and his hidden difficult truths.”

Fiction and fantasy novels are full of ideas, concepts and hidden messages waiting for readers to discover and apply to the outside world. Fiction doesn’t just satisfy our need for change from our mundane worlds, it makes us better, more knowledgeable people. Reading a non-fiction book only satisfies our thirst for confirmation of the truth.

I know what my interests and beliefs are. I also know that they differ from other people, but I am confident in them. I read books not to relearn what I already know, but to help me escape from my reality into someone else’s uncertainty.

Senior libero Rachel Brummit set a new Tech and Big 12 record by tallying 39 digs in a four-set match.

The match began with a 26-24 first set win by the Air Force Falcons. Tech cut down an early four-point deficit and managed a 24-24 tie late into the set, but Air Force scored the last two points they needed to win the set.

Air Force pressured Tech throughout the second and third sets, but the Raiders were able to get wins, 25-18 and 25-23.

The win was the 800th in Tech volleyball program history, according to Tech Athletics.

Raiders collected against the Wildcats.

“One of the things I thought was important was our quality of dig, how do we take care of the ball in transition,” he said. “Serving-wise we got a little bit better as the match went on, but I think that’s a big area, we got to continue to get better at our serving.”

Sophomore middle blocker Lauren Douglass and senior middle blocker Mikia Mills both finished with a teamleading eight kills.

Junior setter Emily Ruetter got the start for the match against Abilene and tallied 33 assists.

Ruetter said the performance from the defense was key for Tech’s victory.

“Our blocking and defense has been so good, and it’s been a really big of emphasis in practice,” she said. “It made it really difficult on them because they (Abilene) never had a full easy swing straight to the ground.”

In the second match of the tournament, Tech came back from a 0-2 deficit to defeat Weber State.

The Red Raiders kept the first two sets against Weber State neck and neck, but dropped the first set 25-23 and the second 25-27.

Junior outside hitter Jenna Allen said the team’s confidence kept them in the match.

“It was just confidence, like it should be,” she said. “We know we’re going to win this game. Go down two, looks like we’re going to five games.”

With Weber State leading the game 21-19 in the third set, Tech broke away on a 6-2 run.

Tech forced a fifth set by winning the fourth set 25-20. Tech never lost the lead once they broke a 7-7 tie versus Weber State.

In the match’s final set, the Wildcats looked like they were going to break the Red Raiders streak. Weber State took a lead of 11-5, four points short of winning the match.

Tech regained control of the match, however, with a 7-0 run. The Red Raiders capped off their comeback by winning the fifth set 15-13.

“We were struggling taking care of the small things in some of the middle parts in some of the sets,” Flora said. “If you take care of the small things those build into big things.”

Red Raider cross-country Marquez named candidate competes in A&M Open for national senior award The Red Raider cross-country team finished fourth place this weekend at the Texas A&M Invitational on Saturday, according to a news release from Tech Athletics, due in part to a second-place overall finish by sophomore Evans Tuitoek.

Tuitoek’s second-place finish was in the 6,000-meter race with a time of 18:23:2, according to the release, five seconds behind the first-place finisher.

The second Red Raider to finish was redshirt freshman Clark Blunt, who came in 23rd

in the race.

“Evans did a great job with the competition,” Tech coach Jon Murray said in the release.

“He hasn’t raced on this short of a course, but he handled it well. This is another good step in the right direction for him.”

The women’s cross-country team also competed in College Station, coming in fifth.

Senior Sharlene Nickle led the Lady Raiders with an 11thplace finish in the 4,000-meter race. Sophomore Jocleyn Caro followed right behind Nickle in

12th place with a time of 14:33.6.

“Both teams competed hard this week,” Murray said.

“There were several who looked tired due to competing on a muddy course for the second straight week, but it was still a great experience for this team. This race is something we were able to build into our training.”

Both teams will take this weekend off before their next competition Oct. 4 in Fayetteville, Arkansas. ➤➤sports@dailytoreador.com

Texas Tech senior wide receiver Bradley Marquez is one of five candidates from the Big 12 Conference up for the 2014 Senior CLASS Award, according to Tech Athletics.

CLASS is an acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, and the award looks at excellence both on and off the field, according to the release. Students are encouraged to use their position on an athletics team to lead in their communities.

Candidates for the award

must be classified as an NCAA Division I FBS s e n i o r, a c cording to the release, and must be achieving in MARQUEZ four areas of excellence — community, classroom, character and competition.

There are 30 candidates overall, according to the release, and 20 of them were all-conference se-

lections in 2013. Two are returning All-Americans, and 19 have grade point averages higher than 3.0.

Marquez was also named to the Allstate American Football Coaches Association Good Works Team before the season began.

three games before fans had settled into their seats.

Against the Mountaineers (2-2, 0-1) in their Big 12 opener, Oklahoma trailed 24-17 just before halftime, then seized the momentum on Alex Ross’ 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Oklahoma got the ball back to start the second half, scored on one of Perine’s four touchdown runs and never trailed again. Perine finished with 242 yards on 34 carries.

“In past weeks, we’ve kind of started fast and slowed up a bit at the end,” Oklahoma quarterback Trevor Knight said.

“Tonight we were able to turn it on in the second half.

“We knew coming in it would be tough. West Virginia had been playing great and putting up huge numbers with their passing game,” he said. “So to come into their house and win is huge for our program.”

West Virginia quarterback Clint Trickett threw for 376 yards — his fifth straight game over 300 — and the Mountaineers outgained Oklahoma 513500. But the Sooners sacked Trickett three times, made two interceptions and recovered one of his fumbles.

Knight overcame a shaky start and finished 16-of-29 for 205 yards. Sterling Shepard caught six passes for 101 yards.

“I thought the passing game could have been better in areas but we made some big plays on third-down conversions,” Knight said. “Nothing was perfect and we have a lot of areas to improve on.”

No. 6 Texas Tech (8-0) started the Oklahoma State Invitational with a 3-1 win Friday against Tulsa (6-2-1) at Cowgirl Soccer Stadium in Stillwater, Oklahoma, according to a Tech news release.

Junior forward Janine Beckie led Tech to the victory with her sixth multiple-goal game. Beckie scored in the 19th and 65th minute. Junior midfielder/forward Caity Heap assisted in the scoring with a goal of her own in the 32nd minute.

Tech remains perfect on the season with its 14th-straight win against a nonconference opponent, according to the release. However, Tulsa did not make it easy.

In the 15th minute, the Red Raiders gave up a goal to the Golden

Hurricanes, ending sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Watson’s four-game shutout streak and putting the Red Raiders in a deficit they needed to climb out from.

The goal to tie the game for the Red Raiders came four minutes later with a penalty kick. It was the first penalty kick in Beckie’s career to be taken during regulation, according to the release.

Sophomore forward Maddy Crabtree assisted Beckie on her second goal, saving the ball from going out of play, and then delivering a pass to Beckie, who headed it into the goal. It was Crabtree’s first assist of the season.

Beckie now has 32 goals in her career, according to the release.

Those goals give Beckie sole possession of second all-time in the Tech record book for goals.

The game was not secure until Heap scored the final goal of the game. Junior midfielder Alli Murphy served a cross into the box that found Heap, and she shot to the far post for her second goal of the season.

With Heap’s goal, Murphy increases her assist total to 10, one assist shy of former Red Raider Taylor Lytle’s single-season school record from 2009, according to the release.

The Red Raiders end this weekend’s tournament with a contest against the Memphis Tigers scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday. ➤➤dhaile@dailytoreador.com

Maclin leads Eagles over Redskins 37-34 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jordan Matthews, the rookie who replaced DeSean Jackson, and veteran Jeremy Maclin lifted the Philadelphia Eagles past the star receiver’s new team.

Matthews caught two touchdown passes, Maclin had one, and the Eagles again stormed from behind to win, beating Jackson’s Washington Redskins 37-34 on Sunday.

The nasty game was marred by a fourth-quarter brawl near the Washington sideline after Eagles quarterback Nick Foles was blindsided by defensive lineman Chris Baker during an apparent interception. Baker and Eagles left tackle Jason Peters were ejected — and then the INT was overturned by video

replay. That led to Maclin’s 27-yard touchdown to break a 27-27 tie.

Jackson wasn’t going to let Philadelphia forget him. The exiled receiver, cut by coach Chip Kelly last winter, caught an 81-yard touchdown pass. He added a Rockettes-style kick to his celebration as his former fans loudly booed.

But the Eagles (3-0), who rallied from 17 points down in their first two victories, came back from an early 17-7 deficit to drop Washington to 1-2.

Rookie Cody Parkey’s third field goal, a 51-yarder with 5:55 remaining, proved to be the winning points when Washington scored a late TD. Philadelphia’s Chris Polk

had a 102-yard kickoff return, the first for an Eagle at Lincoln Financial Field, which opened in 2003.

Washington’s Kirk Cousins threw for 427 yards and three touchdowns in his first start replacing injured Robert Griffin III. As they did in record-setting fashion in their first two victories, the Eagles fell into a hole.

Cousins, who came in last week to throw for two TDs when RG3 hurt his ankle, became the first Redskins quarterback with two TD passes in the first quarter since Mark Brunell in 2005. His 4-yard pass to Darrel Young made Washington the first opponent to score on an opening drive against Philadelphia in 15 games.

Kai Forbath added a 49-yard field goal to make it 17-7. But once again, the Eagles didn’t flinch when down.

The Redskins couldn’t handle Matthews, Philadelphia’s second-round pick from Vanderbilt.

He slipped into the back of the end zone off play-action for an 11-yard pass from Foles, who threw for 325 yards. Then Matthews took a perfect toss over two defenders for a 10-yard TD and the halftime lead.

The Redskins had the ball for just under 23 minutes in the first half, yet trailed 21-20. And Philly turned the tables by controlling the ball to get field goals of 38 and 33 yards by Parkey.

Then Jackson struck on a fly pattern, shaking off an attempted tackle by Cary Williams, turning around as he pranced into the end zone — then making a kicking motion as if to remind the Eagles that they kicked him out of Philadelphia.

The Redskins had a chance to take the lead, but Forbath, who’d made 18 straight field goals, hit the right upright with a 33-yarder with 10:07 left.
